I wanna see all the running processed using system("ps x"); or a similar function.. Then kill unwanted processes using system("kill xxxx");.. is it possible in iOS?

  • On jailbroken devices, or for shipping apps in the App Store? ("probably", and "no way", respectively) – Ben Zotto Jul 30 '12 at 17:23
  • What do you mean? On your personal device only? The OS has capabilities to free RAM by killing background processes already that should be transparent to you. I can't conceive of why you would want to do this manually. And why can't you try the `system` calls and see what happens? – Ben Zotto Aug 06 '12 at 07:12

This is not possible for security reasons. Being able to access so much information would allow for others to re-image the device.
